@ashtom @EntireHQ Wanted to give this a whirl, but it doesn't support Copilot CLI. I bet you know some folks that could make that happen?

tl;dr Today, we’re announcing our new company @EntireHQ to build the next developer platform for agent–human collaboration. Open, scalable, independent, and backed by a $60M seed round. Plus, we are shipping Checkpoints to automatically capture agent context. In the last three months, the fundamental role of the software developer has been refactored. The incredible improvements from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI on their latest models made coding agents so good, in many situations it’s easier now to prompt than to write code yourself. The terminal has become the new center of gravity on our computers again. The best engineers can run a dozen agents at once. Yet, we still depend on a software development lifecycle that makes code in files and folders the central artifact, in repositories and in pull requests. The concept of understanding and reviewing code is a dying paradigm. It’s going to be replaced by a workflow that starts with intent and ends with outcomes expressed in natural language, product and business metrics, as well as assertions to validate correctness. This is the purpose of our new company @EntireHQ, to build the world's next developer platform where agents and humans can collaborate, learn, and ship together. A platform that will be open, scalable, and independent for every developer, no matter which agent or model you use. Our vision is centered on three core components: 1) A Git-compatible database that unifies code, intent, constraints, and reasoning in a single version-controlled system. 2) A universal semantic reasoning layer that enables multi-agent coordination through the context graph. 3) An AI-native user interface that reinvents the software development lifecycle for agent–human collaboration. In pursuit of this vision, we’re proud to be backed by a $60M seed round led by @felicis, with support from @MadronaVentures, @m12VC, @BasisSet, @20vcFund, @CherryVentures, @picuscap, and @Global_Founders alongside a global group of builders and operators, including @GergelyOrosz, @theo, Jerry Yang, @oliveur, @garrytan, and many others, who all recognize that the time is now to take such a big swing. And we begin shipping today with Checkpoints, a new primitive that automatically captures agent context as first-class, versioned data in Git. When you commit code generated by an agent, Checkpoints captures the full session alongside the commit: the transcript, prompts, files touched, token usage, tool calls, and more. It’s our first crack at the semantic layer, as open source CLI on GitHub. From here on out, no more stealth. We are building in the open and as open source! More to come soon, in the meantime check out all the details in our blog.

Congrats to my boy Owen Prior for making the New England Baseball Journal Top 30 Prospect List for the Class of 2029. Elite player and elite teammate. Future is bright OP! @NE_Baseball @NENorEastersbsb @real_PAbaseball

@no_itsbackpack @itsbagpack Hey, I didn’t start anything with @mikekavouras… why you bringing him into this?

@derekprior @itsbagpack me: going about my business, just trying to enjoy my Friday Derek: I want to start WWIII with one of the top engineers out there

It was fun catching up

@no_itsbackpack What were you doing at a diner for top engineers? Repping @itsbagpack? Couldn’t resist. Sorry Gomie. ❤️

funny to see negative comments in this thread while we are basically living it.

@nmeans Also seemed out of legs on a couple of the chances they did have mid to late 2nd half.

No surprises from #USMNT in that match. Still don’t know how to use our possession advantage to generate offensive chances. Lots of kick-around, not enough shots. Classic Berhalter. #WorldCup

Rubyists: there are 0 good reasons to pin version specifiers in your Gemfile. Let's all agree to unilaterally disarm and stop adding them. Trust the lockfile. Pinning versions and ranges should be limited to cases where you know an upgraded version of the gem would break things.

@notdetails For switches, nothing beats Lutron Caseta. I like the new Diva and Claro Caseta smart switches better than the older style. Rock solid reliability and unless you need color changing, switches are way better than smart bulbs.

Hey, what are the Actually Good smart home things to get? I want to hook up all my lights, ideally via smart light switches, but really I just want to spend money on fancy gadgets

@caleb_hearth Congrats!

Wish I could go to this but I’ll be a daddy a second time over a week or two before!

@sgrif The really crazy thing is that if you punch a notch on the other side, you can double your storage.

@anjuan 😂 “Ray Lewis wearing a plaid shirt”

Fairly accurate?

I put my profile picture into @huggingface's CLIP Interrogator (huggingface.co/spaces/pharma/…)

@sgrif @caleb_hearth @schneems Please do not write software

@jasoncharnes It doesn’t happen often, but it makes my day when someone mentions they got a kick out of this.

@derekprior I had to track down the commit to find who added "baby you got a view going" to the Scenic README because it was the best reference I've ever seen in documentation. 👏 github.com/scenic-views/s…

@notdetails For the last couple of years at least. Things that are quite obviously spam are getting through. Egregious enough that I can often create filters to delete dozens of messages. I don’t know what the GMail team is working on but from experiences alone, it isn’t anti-spam.

Is everyone else also getting far more spam in gmail now?

@notdetails I don’t get why anyone cares what they call it? The feature itself was an impressive way to take something they clearly wish didn’t exist (notch/pill) and turn it into a feature.

I am unironically a fan of Dynamic Island

@sgrif You have a funny definition of “everyone.” The minute they do this they will be skewered for “forcing everyone to buy new cables”

Serena Williams is the type of great that makes you watch a sport you otherwise wouldn’t just so you can appreciate excellence. A true GOAT in a time when that term is thrown around too easily.

@jpierce_rbrl My kid is heading into Babe Ruth next season and asking for a new bat. What are the RBRL bat rules?

@SamKap @abookapart Congratulations!
